An imaging diagnosis system for generation of a three-dimensional image data set of an examination subject has an image acquisition unit that acquires three-dimensional raw data of the examination subject, an image reconstruction unit that generates a three-dimensional image data set from the three-dimensional raw data, an image processing unit that detects anatomical structures of the examination subject from the image data set, and a position determination unit that determines the position of an anomaly (identified by a diagnostician) in the anatomical structures of the examination subject in the image data set and generates position data for the image acquisition unit. The image acquisition unit acquires perfusion-sensitive raw data with the aid of the position data of the detected anomaly, which perfusion-sensitive raw data contain perfusion information of the identified anomaly.

A computer program product has a check routine and an active part. When the computer program product is called, a computer, while processing the check routine, initiates a transmitter to send a launch signal. A transponder receives this signal, checks whether a time-dependent and/or usage-dependent transmission condition is met and transmits an enable code as warranted. A receiver receives the enable code and communicates it to the computer. The computer checks the enable code and undertakes processing of the active part only when the enable code satisfies an enable condition.
